Hi
I've gotten Botox shots in my scapular area twice. I'm currently on my second round of 14 shots all over that area, and in my neck. The first round lasted about a year, I'm going on 5 months now, and still doing fairly well. My PM does this, and does it well. My major issue with the Botox is about 2 hours after being injected, I feel like I have a major head cold. This lasts 2-3 days, it really is annoying.

I'm starting to question myself again about this. It does work for me, but each time the head cold thing gets worse. I don't notice any other side effects, but this does worry me a little bit. I will not do a steroid shot, as I am diabetic. Next time I'm in to see her, I'm going to ask if there are any other options. I'm ready for a pain pump, but for now she says no.
